Heretic II

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 15:46

Heya guys,

Anyone know where I could obtain Heretic II from?

Hedeon · 12 February 2020, 15:56

Hyperion?

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 16:11

I've searched everywhere and cannot see this for purchase; hence the reason for this thread.

Hedeon · 12 February 2020, 16:33

I stand corrected (for now). I see that Gorky 17 / FreeSpace / Shogo are there for direct download. But not Heretic II.

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 16:39

https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/ was the first place I looked

Yeh, on the floor of my bedroom in a pile of CD games IIRC!

If you need me to make an ISO and upload somewhere, then I should be able to get to it on the weekend (work permitting).

The reason why it wouldn't be available for digital download purchase from the Hyperion website is that the game was published by Titan. IIRC, it was Hyperion's first Amiga game as a developer and, at that point, they either weren't geared up to be a publisher or in a position where they felt able to take the financial risk as an Amiga games publisher.

That would be absolutely amazing!!!

Anywhere on the EAB File Server would be sufficient

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 20:14

I think I have ISOs of this already, where should I upload it to on the file server? Assume I can do as guest? Can't remember if it needs a key though.

Oh that's cool fitzsteve; and would save ProfBong the trouble

Unfortunately you cannot upload as a guest; you'll need to register an account on the EAB File Server; if you haven't done so already.

Here is the required information: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=780

You can only upload to your own directory under ~Uploads (once you've created this), but I can move to somewhere more appropriate afterwards; being an FTP Admin

Thank you kindly in advance

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 20:34

I have just registered but don't seem to have a folder in uploads? Note I don't have an FTP client installed.

I've found an ISO of Disk2 on my PC, just searching for Disk1 lol, worst case I have the CD upstairs...

You will need to use an FTP client

FileZilla is free and what I use.

Please note what Turran said on the matter:

Nice

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 20:43

Sorted - uploading now

Had to ISO Disk 1 but it took seconds, god bless fast drives. I remember the days of 1x lol

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 20:45

You da man!!!

Let me know once complete and I can move somewhere more appropriate.

Again, very much appreciated

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 20:45

And done

(Used filezilla, have used it before)

Hope it helps

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 20:48

What??? That quickly

Ok, just taken a look. They are really small; guess there's no audio track then.

Data from both disks only extracts to 353MB... it could fit on one CD.

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 20:58

Fibre lol. My Disk B might not have the audio then?

DamienD · 12 February 2020, 21:08

Disk A: 252MB
Disk B: 102MB

If there are associated audio tracks on either CD, then definitely not captured.

What did you use to make the images?

I'd suggest ImgBurn; but create ".BIN & .CUE" images

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 21:36

Ok my actual Disc B does indeed have audio tracks, let me make a proper image of that!

zipper · 12 February 2020, 21:37

Heretic II is available for download on Hyperion at least for old buyers: 765077527 Bytes 2016-10-21 ISO images of both Heretic II CDs .

fitzsteve · 12 February 2020, 21:41

Just uploading now, Bin/Cue from ImageBurn <2min remaining...

Disc A is fine, there are no extra tracks on this.
